Best wax to buy?
Finish First and other products of the like (Liquid Glass, Duragloss) have been discussed before on Autopia.org. Out of all the products I have tried, all the products my boss has tried, all the products that various other detailers have tried (professional and weekender), nobody has recommended them.
There used to be a ton of nut-riding of Finish First on this board, but it has died down. Polymer sealants do NOT bond with the paint. There is no chemical reaction, and thusly it is a semi-permanant coat of protection.

Scroll down to the bottom and back up to Chris Webmaster's first post plugging Finish First. I think I gave good reasons why one should not spend money on the product, and should spend their money on things that will actually be able to remove/fill swirl marks and a wax after to give a lasting shine.
The perfect finish is not a product, it's a process. Until that's accepted, then there is no reason to argue about it.

Angle of photos have a lot to do with it.
This is my current favorite thing to do on black. Meguiars DACP, Clearkote Vanilla Moose, and Poorboys EX-P. The wettest look I have come across.

I've been using a mixture of Eagle One Wax As You dry (1 part) to 3 parts water. Works very very good.
